11 Maintenance and lubrication
Befor you begin any maintenance work on the machine, hang out the start
prohibiting orders of the machine, clearly visible.
11.1 Frame
The frame of the non-folding machines does not
require any special maintenance.
The folding mechanism of the folding corn head should
be greased with Liton Ep2 or equivalent quality grease
once a season. Grease the fitting until grease extrudes
from the sides of the parts shown on the picture
(marked with “A”)!
11.2 Auger
The auger drive chain(s) should be greased every 50
hours, and the chain tension should be checked daily.
The chain tension is proper if the chain bends 10-15 mm
at the showed position (“A”).
The clutch jaws should be greased daily with Liton Ep2.
11.3 Auger connecting clutches
Grease the surfaces of the clutch jaws every 50
hours with Liton Ep2.
The snapping unit drive and the auger connecting
clutches have to be greased with Liton Ep2 in oper-
ating state (unfolded state).
